Hello, my blog viewers. Today we are going to learn about the tiny building blocks that make up us and other animals. Can you guess what it is? It’s cells! The cell is made out of different parts.  Let’s look at them now.  If you were shrunk to a  size that lets you fit through the cell and you found one, the first thing you would see is the cells outer shell. We call it the cell membrane. The cell membrane only lets specific things in. If you could somehow get in, you would see the different parts of the cell.  The different parts of the cell are called organelles. The organelles that you would see are the Nucleus, some Mitochondria, the Endoplasmic reticulum, some Lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus, but when you walk you will realise that there is one more part, and it is the most important. It’s the Cytoplasm! It provides a surface for the organelles to live on. Let’s learn more about the organelles.  The Nucleus decides and controls most of the functi...

All of us sometimes feel bored. You’re probably reading this blog because you’re bored. But... today I’m going to show you 5 things to do when you are bored. 1. Making art. Drawings are a great way to get rid of unnecessary stress. When you draw it let’s your mind relax and your imagination run wild.

My blog wouldn’t even have grown this big without everyone who reads my blog. I make projects on PicCollage because anyone can access the images, backgrounds, fonts, controls and make as much projects as they want. I lik...

The Mayans were the first people to plant the beans of wild cocoa trees. This was the beginning of cocoa farming. In return for other goods, the Mayans traded cocoa beans to the Aztecs, whose lands were too dry to grow cocoa trees. Both the Mayans and the Aztecs used cocoa beans to make a drink known as chocolatl. The beans were dried and crushed, and then mixed with water. The Mayans drank chocolatl hot, whilst the Aztecs drank it cold. Often flavourings, such as chilli or vanilla, were added. Nevertheless, the taste must have been bitter. In fact, the word chocolatl is said to mean “bitter water”. Chocolatl was served on special occasions, such as rituals and royal feasts. The mixture was usually poured from a height into the drinking vessel to make a thick foam on the top. Both the Mayans and the Aztecs use cocoa beans as money. They also gave beans as special gifts, and as offerings for the gods. The land where cocoa trees grew became very valuable. Over several centuries...
